PSA: Giant Gummy Bears Exist

A new candy store opened here a while back, and when we went in, they graciously offered us samples.

Z is a candy connoisseur: he both loves and collects candy.

As he tasted one, he smacked his lips. He assumed the shopkeeper was the same – a candy connoisseur: “Ah, it’s a little more mellow – this must be made with the ammonium chloride salt – it has that finish.”

She had no idea what he was talking about: “ammonium chloride?”. I didn’t either, but I, of course, saw a business opportunity right away: “Sweetheart, with those tastebuds, we need to start renting you out!” (Contact me anytime, wineries!)

I’ve told you this story to set the scene: Z knows a lot about candy.

So a few weeks ago, when someone walked by his desk at work, saw some of his candy collection, and said: “Wow, I’m surprised you don’t have one of those giant gummy bears”, he and I were both shocked.
